I'd suggest you get get clued in to groups like Pink Pistols:
http://www.pinkpistols.org/
Obviously they're not my cup of tea but they are more toward my way of thinking than your ideology.

Yes, but the conservative argument against the advance of “Gay Rights” stops well before the argument for rights of the same conservatives to marry their pet dog. I have no doubt that out “there” in the community are “dotty” old conservative codgers willing and stupid enough for that possibility to eventuate; but that eventuality should not transpire, and neither should the unnatural act of same gender marriage.

You must believe in your heart of hearts that same gender Marriage is as silly in appearance to normal members of society, as would be the example if any member of society were to marry their pet dog. Both the above acts are illogical, abnormal and against social norms.

“In Your Face” outrageous nonsense such as Gay “Mardi-grass” coupled with a wish list of same gender Marriage and rights to adopt Children, are confronting to the same conservative element in society as support, on the whole, human rights that allow freedom of movement, freedom to education, freedom to live together, and many other freedoms for Homosexuals, willingly granted and unopposed by the forgiving conservative element you often deride in your posts.

The limit has been reached for unopposed giving to the Homosexual base. It is all over, get on with the enjoyment of past gains, be thankful. Now is the moment in time for giving something back to the freedom loving society you have taken from for so long. And the return gift expected? Well simply “Back Off”.

Well, the saints go marching ‘out’. What an ant- climax. Using the facility of a simple and historically accepted method of “Points Count Back” used often to determine close calls and determine winners in many sports, the primary score in the first match 10/9 would win for them the coveted cup.

Well we gays and lesbians don't intend to be "in your face", perhapes you need to question why you think that. When you claim that we are "in your face", it suggests to me that you have a problem with accepting other people - so thats something you obviously need to work out with yourself instead of attacking gay people.

"The limit has been reached for unopposed giving to the Homosexual base"

And what evidence have you got for that claim?

Some people are of the opinion that by allowing same-sex marriage the institution will be ‘watered down’. For example, ex-Prime Minister John Howard stated “It is a question of preserving as an institution in our society, marriage as having a special character”. Statements such as this are particularly offensive. It suggests that the inclusion of same-sex couples into the institution of marriage will somehow tarnish or spoil its image. To the contrary, we believe that elevating the status of same-sex relationships to those of different-sex relationships will, if anything, strengthen marriage as a social norm. As such, people who are concerned about the preservation of marriage may do best to focus on ways to increase its appeal amongst the current population, rather than direct their energies towards the exclusion of a select group of individuals from its privileges.

“Some people”? Try the majority of the world of Jason. Penny Wong and Julia Gillard have made similar points.

But of course, deliberately creating fatherless families is bad for young boys. There’s enough father hunger and fatherless boys clogging up our jails, without more social engineering-style politics. And if you cared so much about the institution of marriage, where were you when lesbian feminists were trashing Christian marriages for decades?

It seems like your memory is very selective, and that you’re offended by facts
